Thanks for your answers so far! Do you think something like this:

would be possible to achieve with the Lite version of Cinema 4d, which is included in After effects? Can i do some basic animation in the Lite version like zooming on the building or some smoke effect?

(Would this question be better asked in the Cinema 4d forum, but i thought it’s not good to open an extra topic)

Hi Dave!

Thanks for your quick answer and the advice to look up what isometric really means. After a research I have to say the term “isometric” is not that important for my task. It’s more important to me to have a 3d impression after rendering the whole scene and being able to rotate the camera. So i guess i need some advice on how to set up a 3d scene in Illustrator and get it to work in 3d in After Effects.

Hi Ross!

I hope it’s ok if i answer, also I’m quite new here to Creative Cow.

There’s an effect in After effects called “Typewriter”. Use the text tool to write your text, then go to the Effects browser and look for Animate in/ Typewriter. The rest should be really simple.

You could also draw a rectangle with the same background colour of the objects behind the text and put it on your text and change the path of it, so it reveals slowly your text. Or simply change the position of the rectangle and move it to the side. Make sure, the rectangel layer is on top of the text layer.
